Why have you been you contacted?

In this case, a person has passed away and left their debt-free estate (or a part of it) without any known heirs.

The company specializes in locating legal heirs or co-heirs worldwide.

Once we have been retained, we conduct an in-depth genealogical investigation based on the available information in order to obtain documented evidence for applying for a certificate of inheritance from the competent probate court. Our strong personal connections with archives and government agencies, including those abroad, ensure prompt processing; and any questions that may arise can be resolved easily in this way.

All costs and expenses incurred in the course of the heir search (research costs, attorney, tax advisor, and notary fees, as well as travel expenses, including—if necessary—expenses for documents and any translations) are covered by the company.

Detailed information on the company’s fee schedule can be found here: Fee schedule for heir tracing.
